Dexter DB2000 Series - Grade 2 Single Cylinder Deadbolt

The KDC option is a 6-pin conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, shipped keyed different, so each lock arrives on its own key. Since the keyway is C, a locksmith can pin it into an existing Schlage C system on site. If your building runs small format interchangeable core instead, skip the conventional cylinder and order the SFIC prep less core version so you can drop your own cores in and keep one keying system across the doors.

No core is included. The SFIC prep less core option arrives prepped to accept a small format interchangeable core, and you supply the core from your own keying system. Two things to plan for: order the cores separately, and check the doors, because the SFIC prep covers 1-5/8 to 2 inch doors while the conventional cylinder version covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4. The latch and strike are in the box either way.

The Dexter DB2000 is a Grade 2 deadbolt and is non UL listed 3 hour, so a fire opening that specifies that rating needs a different unit. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt supplied with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch in the cylinder x thumbturn function. If the fire rating is needed while keeping the same door range, the Hager 3215 Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt and the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt both carry a fire rating and both cover a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door, the same range the DB2000 covers with a conventional cylinder.

The Dexter DB2000 covers 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" with a conventional cylinder and 1-5/8" to 2" with the SFIC prep, so a heavier leaf runs past both windows. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with a 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" door thickness range, which is the widest thick-door coverage in the deadbolt set. For a door up to an even 2 inches, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt rated 1-3/8" to 2", though it is keyed both sides rather than key and turn.

The Dexter DB2000 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside and thumbturn inside. For a sidelite or a glazed door where a thumbturn cannot be reachable, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway with a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range, holding the same grade, keyway and door range as the DB2000 KDC option. The Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in stainless steel US32D, which is the same finish family as the DB2000 630 satin stainless option. The Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for a 1-3/4" door, and the Callan 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt.

The Dexter DB2000 is keyed, single cylinder, cylinder x thumbturn. Where the outside face should carry no cylinder at all, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, in a blank plate x thumbturn function with a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range. That holds the same grade and the same door range as the DB2000 with a conventional cylinder while removing the outside cylinder entirely, which suits a rear exit or a stair door that is thrown from the inside only.

The closest one-for-one swaps are Grade 2 deadbolts in the same cylinder x thumbturn function. The Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range, which is the same door range the DB2000 covers with a conventional cylinder. The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt built on the Schlage C keyway, which matches the DB2000 KDC cylinder option of a 6-pin Schlage C, so it keys into the same system. The Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt that carries a tamper-resistant cylinder guard.

The DB2000 comes with a 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch square corner lipless strike. If your frames are already cut for a square corner strike of that size, it drops straight in. Frames prepped with radius corners will need the corners squared out or a different strike ordered. Lipless means there is no projecting lip to catch on, which is what you want on a deadbolt in a hollow metal frame.

Both come in the box on every DB2000 function: the universal square corner latch, part number 30-253, and the 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch square corner lipless strike. Nothing else is needed to finish a door that is already bored and prepped. The one exception is the SFIC prep less core version, where the interchangeable core is not included and you supply it.

Grade 2 is the medium duty commercial tier, and the DB2000 is built for commercial openings, which covers most multi-family unit entries and back-of-house doors. Where the door takes real abuse, a main building entry, a high turnover unit, a door that gets kicked, step up to Grade 1. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset over the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt if you are running interchangeable core.

The Dexter DB2000 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, so it always presents a turn piece on the inside. Where the inside must be blank and the bolt is worked by key only, the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in a cylinder x blank configuration for a 1-3/4" door, and the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock, cylinder x blank, in a classroom function for a 1-3/4" door. Both are keyed on one face with no turn opposite, which is the reverse of how the DB2000 is arranged.

The Dexter DB2000 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn. Moving to Grade 1 in the same function, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt on a 2-3/8" backset with a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range, matching the door range the DB2000 covers with a conventional cylinder. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with an adjustable backset, so one part number handles both standard preps. The Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function.

The Dexter DB2000 is a Grade 2 commercial single cylinder deadbolt. Where the traffic does not call for Grade 2, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset and a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range, the same door range the DB2000 covers with a conventional cylinder. The Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt over the same door range, and the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim. All three keep the cylinder x thumbturn function the DB2000 uses, so the operation on the door is unchanged.

The Cal-Royal LSD is a single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, Grade 3, over a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range. That is the same door range the Dexter DB2000 covers with its conventional cylinder, so the LSD drops into the same doors while giving the larger turn piece. The DB2000 itself is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, so the trade between the two is the grade against the turn geometry.

The Dexter DB2000 works from a bored prep, supplied with a 2-3/8" to 2-3/4" universal square corner latch and a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner lipless strike. The Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn, with a D cylinder keyed different in SC keyways, and it needs a mortise pocket cut in the door edge. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, square and round trim respectively, also cylinder x thumbturn and also mortise prep. If the door already carries a cross bore, the DB2000 goes in without a new pocket; if the door is mortise prepped, the D900 or the Emtek units match the existing cutout.

The Dexter DB2000 goes through the door, with the universal square corner latch in the edge bore and the strike in the frame. Where the leaf cannot be bored through, the Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, so only one face is cut. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override in the CL200 Series, a light duty unit mounted on the face of the door rather than through it. Both give a throw into the frame without the full cross bore the DB2000 requires.

The Dexter DB2000 is keyed, single cylinder, on a 6-pin Schlage C conventional cylinder or an SFIC prep. For credential access on the same door, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, so it holds the same grade the DB2000 carries. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt. For RFID credentials on multifamily or hospitality doors, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, and the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt.

The Dexter DB2000 ships with a 2-3/8" to 2-3/4" universal square corner latch, p/n 30-253, so one part number serves either standard backset. Among the comparable deadbolts, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single deadbolt built on a 2-3/4" backset and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt on a 2-3/8" backset, each fixed to one prep. The Falcon D111 Grade 1 and the Cal-Royal ED500 Grade 3 both use an adjustable backset, and the Brinks Raleigh E2401 and Mendocino E2402 use a 4 way adjustable backset. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before ordering a fixed backset unit.

The Dexter DB2000 is a deadbolt only, so it goes in above a separate latching lockset and the door gets two bores. The Falcon H2101 is an entrance interconnected lock that combines a single cylinder deadbolt with the entrance lock in one Grade 2 unit, which is the usual choice for apartment entry doors where a single trim assembly is wanted. Compare the existing prep before switching, since the interconnected unit and the two-bore arrangement the DB2000 belongs to are not the same cutout.

Order 626, satin chrome, which is the standard commercial match for satin chrome lever sets. The DB2000 comes in four finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. All four are offered with either cylinder option, conventional Schlage C or SFIC prep, so picking a finish never limits how you key the door. If the existing hardware is 630 stainless rather than 626 chrome, the two read differently side by side, so match the number and not the description.

The Dexter DB2000 arrives as a complete deadbolt with a 2-3/8" to 2-3/4" universal square corner latch, p/n 30-253, and a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner strike. Three items in the same family are components rather than locks. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt x deadbolt functions with a straight lip, a frame-side plate only. The BEST 8T is the tubular deadbolt tube component from the T Series. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer. Order any of these as a repair or make-up part, not as a deadbolt.

No. The Dexter DB2000 is a keyed deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn, thrown by hand and held out until it is turned back. The International Door Closers DL-4511 is a deadlatch lock with a flat faceplate, and the DT-1851 is a long throw deadlatch, both latching units that close with the door rather than deadbolts. The International Door Closers DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock with a flat faceplate, which throws a hook rather than a straight bolt and is used where the frame cannot take a conventional bolt. None of the three swaps directly into a bored deadbolt prep.

The Dexter DB2000 is a mechanical deadbolt, thrown and retracted by key or thumbturn with no electrical connection. Where the bolt must release on a signal, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt. Both work from a mortise pocket rather than the bored prep the DB2000 uses, so the door has to be prepped for the case.

The Dexter DB2000 is a commercial Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt offered in 605 bright brass, 613 oil-rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless. Where the trim shape has to match a decorative package while holding Grade 2, the Bravura 310B Elite is a traditional round deadbolt, the 310RC Elite is a contemporary round, the 310SC Elite is a contemporary square, and the Bravura BV910005 is a rectangle deadbolt, all Grade 2 single cylinder in cylinder x thumbturn. The Callan 200S-G2 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with round trim. The function and grade are the same across all of them, so the choice comes down to rose shape and finish.

The Dexter DB2000 throws one bolt into a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner strike at the lock edge. Where the opening needs securing at more than that one point, the Detex DX Series is a hinge side locking dead bolt with multi-point security, which locks the leaf on the hinge side as well. That addresses a different failure path than a heavier lock-edge deadbolt does, so it is often specified alongside a bolt at the strike rather than in place of one.
